2008 WineSmith Pinot Noir Russian River Valley
12/6/2019 - boatman72 Does not like this wine:
50 points
This is the worst bottle of Pinot Noir that I have ever had!!! I'd sell it back to Clark in a heartbeat. It's just plain nasty! I'm surprised that he pawned this crap to his customers! Shill garbage!! The minimum that I could rate it was a 50! I tried to give it a "0"! It should have never been sold!!

Not a Riesling expert here. Thought it would work with Kilbasa and potatos, but it did not. I don't know whether that was a bad pairing, or it just needed a couple days to open up, but I finished the bottle a couple days later after Taco Tuesday dinner, to kill off the bottle while chatting with my wife. Wow, really really good. Delight in a glass.

A reviewer (WS?) gave this 94 points and said it'd develop for a couple decades, while other little reviews just seem to think it's something to drink now. I know with reds, a young wine being better after several days hints at improving with age. Is that the case here? If so, this sucker might be really good in 10 years!

But don't have it young with Kilbasa/potatoes pop&pour.
